I'd like to comment on that "dealers sticking with dealers" comment. Who are these dealers that have such a mountain of solidarity with each other? If my memory serves me correctly, most of these dealers that I have met are quick to criticize actual bad behavior on the part of their peers. Sometimes they are worse than the buyers!
And who are these "dealers?" Most of the ebay sellers are just that - sellers. Just because someone can hop on ebay and sell some posters, some books, some whatevers, it doesn't make he or she a real "dealer" in my book. A "real" dealer is something much more marvelous, much more fantastic, much more knowledgeable. A real dealer is one who has given up the law, medicine, engineering - all the small time professions - so that he or she can serve the collecting public tirelessly while pulling down a six-figure income cheating hapless ebay schlubs. I know that all my dealer network union will agree with me. Kirby Kirby McDaniel MovieArt Original Film Posters P.O.
